Malaysia’s Most Iconic Nasi Lemak Is Now In Instant Noodles Form – And It Actually Tastes Like It

Nasi lemak has always been Malaysia’s most craveable meal – and now, in one of the first collaborations of its kind, a beloved restaurant’s signature taste is being brought into an instant noodle format not as a loose interpretation, but as a faithful translation of the real thing. Nuuna, the instant noodle brand by Serba Wangi Sdn. Bhd., has joined forces with Nasi Lemak Burung Hantu (NLBH) to bring one of Malaysia’s most sought-after nasi lemak experiences into a range of instant noodles and instant vermicelli.

The distinction matters. The Malaysian market is no stranger to nasi lemak-flavoured instant products, but most draw from a generic interpretation of the dish. This collaboration takes a different approach entirely – anchoring the product to the specific, recognisable taste profile that has made Nasi Lemak Burung Hantu a household name and a go-to for Malaysians who are serious about their nasi lemak. Every element has been developed to reflect what loyal NLBH customers already know and love: the deep heat of the sambal, the toasty fragrance of fried shallots and garlic, the savoury punch of anchovies, the brightness of tamarind, and the rich, layered base that ties it all together – now ready in minutes, and in a format that noodle lovers can call their own. It is this dedication to getting Malaysian flavours right that Serba Wangi, backed by its heritage in rice and local food culture through its Jati brand, brings to everything it creates. 

Mr. Azri Fahmi, representative spokesperson for Serba Wangi Sdn. Bhd. said the collaboration came from a genuine desire to push beyond what nasi lemak-flavoured instant noodles have typically offered.

“There are already products out there that reference nasi lemak as a flavour, but we wanted to do something more specific and more meaningful than that. Nasi Lemak Burung Hantu has a flavour that Malaysians actively seek out – it has a real identity, a real following,” said Mr Azri Fahmi.  “At Serba Wangi, bringing a flavour that Malaysians already love into a format that they are equally familiar with felt like a natural step. We know that not everyone reaches for nasi lemak in the same way – some want to sit down for a full experience, and some want something fast that still hits the same notes. This range is for the latter. It’s for the person who loves noodles, loves NLBH, and wants both at once – without having to wait or compromise.”

The range is designed to meet Malaysians wherever hunger strikes – a quick lunch, a late-night craving, or anything in between. It is not about replacing the nasi lemak experience, but about extending it to those who reach for noodles first, offering the best of both in a single, convenient bowl.

“Nasi Lemak Burung Hantu has always been about giving Malaysians a nasi lemak experience they keep coming back to. Partnering with Serba Wangi to bring that same flavour into an instant format felt like a natural way to reach more Malaysians – especially those who grew up with our taste but don’t always have the time to sit down for a plate. We’re proud that what’s in that bowl still feels like us,” said Mr. Alfian Basir, Director of Nasi Lemak Burung Hantu.

“Malaysians are increasingly seeking food experiences that combine the familiar with the convenient. What we wanted to create is something that carries that same sense of satisfaction – where the sambal is right, and the whole thing just comes together. That experience shouldn’t be limited to one format,” said Mr. Azri Fahmi.  

Priced at RM7.99, the range is now available exclusively at Jaya Grocer outlets nationwide, as well as through the SW Food Official e-store on TikTok Shop, Shopee, and Lazada.

Singer D4vd Arrested In Connection With Teen’s Murder After Body Found In His Car

It’s been months since the authorities began their investigation into the dead teenager found in singer D4vd’s car. Now, the American R&B artist is under arrest in connection with the murder case.

On 16th April 2026 (Thursday) local time, the Robbery-Homicide Division of the Los Angeles Police Department said they had arrested D4vd for the murder of Celeste Rivas. The 21-year-old, whose real name is David Anthony Burke, is currently being held without bail. The authorities will present the case to the District Attorney’s office on Monday (20th April 2026).

SOURCES: TWITTER (@Variety & @PopBase)

Back in September 2025, news outlets reported that police found a decomposing body in an abandoned Tesla belonging to D4vd. Netizens would later learn that the victim, identified as missing Californian teen Celeste, had close ties to the singer. This revelation sparked allegations that D4vd was involved in the teen’s passing or was the perpetrator.

Previously, court documents on the case showed that investigators classified D4vd as a suspect in the murder. However, the singer’s legal team has denied the allegations, saying in a media statement, “Let us be clear — the actual evidence in this case will show that David Burke did not murder Celeste Rivas Hernandez and he was not the cause of her death.”

The team continues to defend the public figure, saying, “There has been no indictment returned by any grand jury in this case and no criminal complaint filed. David has only been detained under suspicion. We (the legal team) will vigorously defend David’s innocence.” Meanwhile, D4vd hasn’t spoken publicly since the case began investigations.

Online, netizens have shared their reaction to the singer’s arrest. Many believed he had an involvement in the murder, given his close relationship with the victim. Meanwhile, some fans continue to express support for D4vd, believing in his innocence. However, all in all, many hoped that justice would prevail for the victim.

For now, D4vd remains in police custody until next week, when the authorities present the case to the District Attorney’s office. Only time will tell whether the singer truly has an involvement in Celeste’s death.
